Either way they will probably need to add 2 new schools and possibly 2 new sports to have an extra buffer.Quote:

Like the Portly one? Oh No! He doesn't actually know anything, he just manipulates data to make it seem like UND's Athletic Program isn't as highly publically subsidized in comparison to FCS leading programs.Quote:

*Of the 76 FCS schools in the recently released report
Rob at least attempts to provide data to support his writing. And in many cases he presents good arguments. McFeely just writes believing as if it fact with no back up plan. A recent example when he went off about the U4K program about bringing Urkainians to the oil patch. We went on about how its a right wing attempt to move white people to western ND, whereas the program was a Ukraine specific program established by the Biden administration. What interesting about this after McFeely bash piece, Rob wrote an article on the program, with program specifics completely showing the errors of McFeely's blog. Happens everyday.Quote:

I think that there's a version of the portal that might not be obvious but within which the Bison may already currently participate, and may actually further exploit with an FBS upgrade. A development program like NDSU might attract high FCS, low/middle FBS, and some high FBS talent for 3 of their 4 years of eligibility. We get kids that we wouldn't normally attract because they want that development. They may not want to graduate as Bison, but they damn sure want to contribute heavily to the cause for their redshirt and three years. I know that that means that a different team gets their theoretical best year but that doesn't negate the fact that we're getting guys that in some cases shouldn't even be sniffing NDSU.Quote:

Because no one cares and the clicks it would generate aren't worth the time to research and write it? Unfortunately no one cares enough to shut them down or repurpose them either.Quote:

Either have to keep the pipeline full of fresh talent to step up, or have to backfill from the portal. Maybe both.Quote:

He lists the indoor practice facility as an issue... then quickly throws out it was privately funded though.... then whines about it distracting from efforts to fund raise for academics. Twisted logic only a UND fan could fully appreciate.Quote:

An unbiased take at that data would be that NDSU has kept it's state funding almost constant while managing to explode it's athletics funding through purely private funding and other revenues. UND..... not so much.
However, fatty hates college athletics.... and obviously the Indoor Football Practice Facility. He's obsessed with whining about it every chance he can insert it into a topic even when there is no reason to.
He'll go after DUI's in Minot, or so I've heard.Quote:

NDSU being lowest, UND being sixth lowest, doesn't matter. Any funds will be his retort.
You’re doing the same thing. UND is 6th but so what you’re still double what NDSU receives.Quote:

@Genetics56
The NCAA is talking about raising the entry cost to FBS from $5K to $5M. We will see if the legislation gets drafted if it gets approved or not next week.
That is one heck of an increase.
Great source everything seems to check out with that one. lol.
Even if it was true, $5m is a fraction of what it really costs to move to FBS anyhow.Quote:

No idea who Ron Counts is or if he’s bona fide enough for the complainers who frequent this board, but …
If I found one that said "no way NDSU sucks" I’d post that link too but they don’t seem to exist
Have to go to fan forums to find that kind of dumb …
Very good read.Quote:
